The Cobbler and the Banker

By La Fontaine

A cobbler passed his time in singing from morning till night;it was wonderful to see,wonderful to hear him;he was more contented in shoes,than was any of the seven sages.His neighbor,on the contrary,who was rolling in wealth,sung but little and slept less.He was a banker;when by chance he fell into a doze at day-break,the cobbler 12 awoke him with his song.The banker complained sadly that Providence had not made sleep a saleable commodity,like edibles or drinkables.

Having at length sent for the songster,he said to him,

"How much a year do you earn,Master Gregory?"

"How much a year,sir?"said the merry cobbler laughing,"I have reckon in that way,living as I do from one day to another;somehow I manage to reach the end of the year;each day brings its meal."

"Well then!How much a day do you earn,my friend?"

"Sometimes more,sometimes less;but the worst of it is,-and,without that our earnings would be very tolerable, a number of days occur in the year on which we are forbidden to work;and the curate,moreover,is constantly adding some new saint to the list.

The banker,laughing at his simplicity,said,"In the future I shall place you above want.Take this hundred crowns,preserve them carefully,and make use of them in time of need."

The cobbler fancied he beheld all the wealth which the earth had produced in the past century for the use of mankind.Returning home,he buried his money and his happiness at the same time,No more singin;he lost his voice,the moment he acquired that which is the source of so much grief.Sleep quitted his dwelling; and cares,suspicions,and false alarms took its place,All day,his eye wandered in the direction of his treasure;and at night,if some stray cat made a noise,the cat was robbing him.

At length the poor man ran to the house of his rich neighbor;"Give my back." said he,"sleep and my voice,and take your hundred crowns."

皮匠和银行家

拉.封丹

一个皮匠从早到晚在唱歌中度过。无论见到他本人或听见他的歌声都使人觉得很愉快。他对于制鞋工作比当上了希腊七圣还要满足。

于工作把他吵醒了。银行家郁郁寡欢地抱怨上帝没有睡眠也制成一种像食品或饮料那样可以买卖的商品。后来，银行家就叫人把这位 歌手请来，问道：“格列戈里师傅，你一年赚多少钱?”

“先生，你问我一年赚多少钱吗?”快乐的皮匠笑道：“我从来不算这笔帐，我是一天一天地过日子，总而言之坚持到年底，每天挣足三餐。”

“啊，朋友，那么你一天赚多少钱呢?”

“有时多一点，有时少一点;不过最糟糕的是一年中总有些日子不准我们做买卖，牧师又常常在圣徒名单上添新名字，否则我们的收入也还算不错的。”

银行家被皮匠的直率逗笑了，他说：“我要你从今以后不愁没钱用。这一百枚钱你拿去，小心放好，需要时拿来用吧。” 皮匠觉自己好像看到了过去几百年来大地为人类所需而制造出来的全部财富。他回到家中，埋藏好硬币，同时也埋葬了他的快乐。他不再唱歌了;从他得到这种痛苦的根源那一刻起，他的嗓子就哑了。睡眠与他分手;取而代之的却是担心、怀疑、虚惊。白天，他的 目光尽朝埋藏硬币的方向望;夜间，如果有只迷途的猫弄出一点声响，他就以为是有人来抢他的钱。最后，这个可怜的皮匠跑到他那富有的邻居家里说：“把你的一百枚钱拿回去，还我的睡眠和歌声来。”

A Happy Family幸福的家庭

I have a happy family. Though there is only a little furniture in my home and everything in the rooms seems rather disorderly, I love my home very much.

My father is an engineer, nearly fifty years old. As a Party member, quite often he works late into the night. He even forgets himself when he is reading. Once when having supper, I found that the soup tasted watery. It soon became clear that my father, deep in his reading, had forgotten to put salt in the soup.

I have a kind mother. She is a primary school teacher. She loves her pupils and her job very much and puts all her heart into her work. All our clothes are made by tailors, for she is too busy to sew for us. As a housewife, she has to do almost all the housework. So she is the busiest one in our family.

We all keep a lot of books and we love reading. During our leisure time, reading is our main hobby. Evening is the happiest hour in our family. We usually sit in my parents room, reading and discussing everything were interested in.

I love my family. It not only gives me much happiness and warmth but also teaches me how to be a real man.

我有一个幸福的家庭。尽管家里只有很少几件家具而且房内显得有些零乱，但我却很爱我家。

爸爸是一位工程师，年龄将近50岁。作为·党员；他常常工作到深夜，在读书时他甚至能把自己忘了。曾经有一次吃晚饭时，我觉得汤淡得没味。很快真相大白，原来是爸爸埋头于读书而忘了加盐。

我妈妈很和蔼可亲。她是一名小学老师。她很喜欢她的学生和她的工作，把全部心血投入到了工作中。我们的衣服都是由裁缝做的，她因为太忙而．没时间给我们缝制。作为家庭主妇，她几乎做了全部家务。所以她是全家最忙的人。

我家有很多藏书，我们很喜欢读书。闲暇时间，读书便是我们的最大爱好。晚上是我们家最幸福的时光。我们通常坐在父母的房间里读书、讨论我们感兴趣的问题。

我爱我家，它不仅给我快乐、温暖，而且教我做人。

英文名称是Application letter。它通常分为几种类型，包括索取公司应聘申请表及详细资料的不带的求职信，附简历的应征求职信，试探性的求职信等等。 那么，英文有哪些呢？

递交求职信的目的是用求职信来吸引阅读者，而不是一种形式或习惯。打开装有求职信的信封，首先看到的就是求职信，它是表现应聘者个性的工具，想象一下，如果对方看到的是连折叠都不齐整的信纸，还有好心情看下去吗？而结构松散的信会让人觉得写信者条理不清晰。语法拼写或标点的错误太多，则会让人觉得此人办事容易出错，对工作不负责任，公司是不会聘用这样的人的。通常一封求职信的阅读时间是30秒，在这30秒内能体现的实际上是你的风格。而每一个公司都喜欢聘用专业作风很强的有能力的员工。

在招聘广告中，常要求有意申请者可致电或致函索取公司的申请表格。索取这类申请表格的求职信一般都比较简短，格式参照范例。 得到申请表格后，仔细填写后一般与简历一起交给公司。申请表格的填写。

附简历的应征求职信具有向招聘者说明简历和具体求职内容的作用。简历中你已经将自己的职业经历或教育情况列表说明了，在求职信里就应着重表达自己的意见。在求职信里要简短地对简历中提到的与应聘职位有关的职业经历和技能加以说明。但是，只是简单的重复简历里的内容是不够的。要把简历里没有的内容充分添加进去，显示出与其他应聘者的差别。你需要表达的观点是：渴望、确信、真诚（I am keen, I am clear and I am sincere)。在第一段里，陈述你渴望得到这个空缺职位，第二段说明你已了解这项工作和公司的要求，说明你为什么认为你符合它们的招聘条件。第三段讲清你本人希望在何时面试，何时可以上班。第四段采用能使公司相信你对这项工作真正有兴趣的语句结束这封信。

典型的求职信格式是：你的地址写在信纸的右上方，地址下面是写信日期。信纸左上角要写上接受你求职信的人的姓名和尊称其下面是该公司的名称和地址。再下面就是招聘广告中给出的其他相关代码。

试探性的求职信是你主动发给你感兴趣的公司的，这类希望渺茫的却经常能出人意料的取得成功，因为这种申请求职的方法表现出了申请人本身的能力、勇气和激情。

试探性求职申请信应该简洁，讲清楚你对该公司感兴趣的原因，写明你具备的资格以及你认为会引起该公司注意的任何品德。邮寄申请信时，要把也一起寄去。你还需要知道公司里人事经理或部门经理的名字，把直接信寄给他会更有效一些。

可能在很长的一段时间里，你收不到任何回音，那么可以断定该公司目前没有你申请的空缺职位。

Inrecent years, tourism has been popular and played an important role in ournation’s economic growth. However, I am afraid that if tourism develops over,it will bring harm to the environment and give rise to many problems.

近年来，旅游业已经变得很流行，在我国经济发展中发挥了重要作用。然而，我害怕如果旅游业过度发展，它会给环境带来危害，并引发很多问题。

Thereare a few reasons accounting for my views and I would like to list three ofthem. One of the examples is that a large number of woods and other plants werereplaced by all kinds of accommodation facilities or scenic spots. Thatdefinitely breaks the ecological balance of these areas and destroys thenatural beauty of the scenic spots. Worse still, more pressure has been placedenvironment protection in that many tourists left their garbage in the scenicspots. In addition, over-developed tourism will occupy large numbers offarmland and lead to the shortage of the land.

我想列出其中三个可以解释我观点的几个理由。其中一个例子是大量的森林以及一些其他的植物被各种住宿设施或风景名胜区替代了。那肯定会打破这些地区的生态平衡，破坏风景名胜区的自然美。更糟的是，环境保护已经面临更大的压力了，因为许多游客在离开景点的时候把他们的垃圾丢在景点里。此外，过度开发旅游业会占用大量的耕地，导致土地短缺。

Ina word, tourism will be harmful to our environment if it is over development.Thus, I do not advocate that we development tourism without considering theenvironment. And we should keep the balance between tourism development andenvironment protection so that we can achieve the sustainable developmentbetween our nation’s economy and the environment.

总之，如果过度开发旅游业会对我们的环境有害。因此，我不同意在没考虑环境问题下就开发旅游业。我们应该保持旅游开发与环境保护之间的平衡，使我们能够在我们国家的经济和环境之间实现可持续发展。

每当我们梦寐以求的暑假向我们袭来时，我们心中充满了兴奋与喜悦，但当我们真正迎来这个漫长的暑期时，我们又有一些束手无策了，一边是作业，一边是游玩，到底应该怎样选择呢？

俗话说得好：“一张一弛，文武之道。”既能写作业，又能玩儿，真是不错的打算呢。那天上午我写完了规定作业，下午，我们便和妈妈一起去了汊河，那是一条一望无垠的大河，河水清澈得像一面镜子，清晰地映现了我的倒影，那一排干净而又整齐的栏杆，以及一排排柳树，像女孩子一样斜下身子，那一头碧绿的丝发，浸在河水中，河中还有一大片荷花，在荷叶的衬托下，荷花更突出它独特的美。这是我想到了一句描写荷花的诗句：出淤泥而不染，濯清涟而不妖……

自己的暑假自己做主，这才是我理想的暑假！

Recently, I read a great book,Childhood,which is written byGorky. It’s a novel based on the experiences of the author’s tragic childhood, telling the stories about the author between his three to ten years old. Aliocha has a bad childhood. His father and mother die in his early ages, so that he has to live with his great-grandparents. His great-grandfather is bad tempered and his uncles hate him very much. Great-grandmother is the only person who cherished him. Besides, Aliocha also feel the pureness, friendship by his playmates. Through this book, we can see a poor, ugly society, but we also can see an adamant, compassionate little child who constantly pursuits of good things in life. It’s hard to imagine how he can stick to the faith of life in such bad environment. As for us, we live in a much better environment; of course we should cherish our happiness and be strong to face difficulties in life.

At that time, there were two children, ashan and water. They were good friends. They were very brave. They often drove their cattle to the hillside to eat grass. The family said to them: "there is a year in the mountains.

"Not afraid." Ashan and water have their own minds.

That said, they went up a couple of times, but luckily they didnt touch nian. The weather turned yellow. Ah shan, water drive the cattle to come home with a monster. That was the year. The whip made a noise from the mountain, and the year, when he heard the torsion, he saw the red clothes on the water run faster.

Ah shan, ah water sees this all clear, return to the village, they say to others: year afraid of red afraid to ring, these are its weak points. We dont have to worry about it.

From then on, people wear red clothes on the twelfth lunar month, some firecrackers, and this time is called "New Year".

我不反感中学，也绝对谈不上一点儿喜欢。

说实话，我不认为上学是一件有意义的事。语文？噢，能正常沟通就够了。数学？噢，在现实中有作用就够了。英语？噢，我的天哪！哪位人才发明的？真想揍那人一顿。至于其它的，我就想挖个坑埋了。

又无聊又复杂又浪费时间！这是我对上学的定义。

然而不管怎么定义，我依然要上学。

上学可不是件容易的事，麻烦接连不断。

上中学头几天我就惹事了。学校要求早上必须晨跑，目的是锻炼身体。刚起来，打开窗，啊！清晨的雾霾和我撞了一个满怀，一片灰蒙蒙的，近在眼前的另一栋楼都完美地沉浸在这片灰暗中。“啥玩意儿！”我嚷了一句，这还能跑步？别说跑步时要吸入更多的空气了，这能见度，跑出学校都不知道呢！于是我悠闲自得的在食堂里品味早点，想看看还有没有人在操场上跑。仔细一看，实在看不见，学校已被雾霾笼罩。吃完早餐，我摸索着到了操场，还好此时PM2、5少了很多，我找到了我的班级。正好碰上了“老班”他把我一顿臭骂，我这脾气，他还没骂过瘾，我就一拍屁股走了，留下他在风中凌乱。班上的同学都呆住了，目送我的背影。

还没过几天，我又惹事了。我跟另一同学干了一架，这架打得，大有毁天灭地之势，我挥舞着椅子，目露凶光地如破竹之势地向他袭去，他也凶猛的冲上来，我们如两颗流星正面撞在一起，势不可挡。打了好一会儿，我们依然是两个随时都可以爆发的炸药桶。一个男同学瞪了我一眼，我又冲上去揪着他……

“老班”伤透了脑筋，这熊孩子真能折腾！多次“召唤”我去他的办公室谈谈。我对此人还是挺有好感的，经过我神一般的逻辑与思维，他还有一口气！多数人与我谈心都是被气得差不多要剖腹自尽了，这家伙心理素质不错，是棵好“苗子”，有“前途”，不能把他气出内伤，要为国家留一个好老师。于是每次谈话我都忍让，这才能结束他的“长篇论文主题演讲”。

我多次问自己，活着是为了什么。

也许初中时不应该这么问自己，但早在小学我就有了答案，我先不告诉你。也许初中没有我所期望的那么美好，但我发现了他存在的意义。

无数的烦恼可以无休止地围着我，我终究要面对。

中学时我体会了友谊，背叛，热情，孤独，还有希望与少许的幸福。快乐的事是说不完的。朋友的一次等待，那是真诚的心意；朋友的一次祝福，来自真心的期望；大家的一次欢聚，那是无数颗真情的心连在一起……

初中，有你们陪我一起走过。

成长，不只是心的旅行。

那些骂我的人，多想你一直骂下去。那些打我的人，多想我们一直打下去。

陪我走过的人都会离开，初中时期无比短暂。不管恨也好，爱也罢，都将是最珍贵的回忆。匆匆三年，我们能留下什么，带走什么？

长长的成长之路，你们能记住这一小步么？在这小小的小一步中，那些酸甜苦辣，也只能自己品味了。

所幸，我的中学时期，正在进行……
